Australian Aged Pension
I gather it was a bad week for discovering opal when you made this post. Must be tough when you are relying on "luck" for your retirement income. You sure aren't a Gina or Twiggy with your small operation. Probably ave better luck buying a lottery ticket. -

Thaksin Outlines Vision for Transforming Thailand's Northeast
Its the mindset thats wrong, bloke who works for me (excellent worker)left the other day to go see his dying Dad, in hospital tubes to breath everything failing............ Reason for dying.....alcohol, just 64 yrs old, he died yesterday............they all got blind drun k and continue the stupidity, so exactly what killed his Father will now kill his 3 sons including my worker whose only just 40..............told him, 20 years thatll be you unless you stop drinking, its 40% alcohol he drinks daily, one Red Bull size bottle decanted by his wife who fights desperately to control it to this amount. He thinks tomorrow aint ever coming -

Trump’s big fat abject lie …and why he keeps telling it.
Science is never settled. Those theories however have massive data results confirming them and the possibility of new data overturning them is remote. Still, if new data DID emerge then the science would reset it's result. That is why people say the science is never settled. I agree it is nit picking. -

Citibank ATMs in Bangkok?
The rates you want to be looking at to determine what's going on with a foreign bank card here are the actual VISA and MC foreign currency conversion websites, as follows: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html When a foreigner uses their home country VISA or MC debit card at an ATM in Thailand, it is indeed the VISA or MC networks that are setting the BASE exchange rate for the transactions -- unless the cardholder is duped at the ATM into consenting to DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) where the Thai bank is allowed to substitute their own much lower rate (often a 4-5% hit) in exchange for showing you the transaction amount in your card's home country currency instead of Thai baht. Just say NO to that. The only other reason a net/received exchange rate should differ much from the BASE MC or VISA card network rates for a given day is if one's home country bank is adding their own fees for foreign transactions, so-called foreign currency conversion or cross-border transaction fees. Those are very common, at least among major U.S. banks, including Chase, often in the 3-4% range. So if your net achieved exchange rate using a foreign VISA or MC is different from the daily rates shown on the above VISA and MC websites (allowing for some minor variance in rates that occur during the day), it's probably because your home country bank is adding their own foreign currency conversion fees and/or because you've mistakenly agreed to DCC at the Thai ATM. -

@kwilco Trust me, you will not have a problem unless wishing to change very large amounts. If so, head to Super Rich in Bangkok. -

Pattaya bar girl scams 10 million baht from South Korean man
And what happens then? She will find the next gullible guy and suck him dry. That's their game: Meet – greet – cheat – repeat! The saddest part for me is what I read between the lines of the OP, especially between the last two lines: Danny is not here to take legal action and get his money back. Danny wants her back. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
And to finish-up this post, below are some links to low cost OBD2 adapters you can buy on Lazada/Shopee. I have both the Konnwei KW902 (also sold as a Vgate model) and costs around Bt300 and the MiniElm327 which costs around Bt50. Both give the exact same OBD2 data readouts and work fine with the Car Scanner ELM OBD2 app. I recommend you buy an OBD2 adapter which has a on/off switch so you can leave it plugged into the car all the time but turn if off when not using it. Below adapter has an on/off switch. This way someone who happens to be nearby to your (say within 10 meters) can not tap into the Bluetooth connection between the adapter and your phone. It just adds some security. The on/off capability is not important regarding 12V battery power usage....like draining your 12V battery...because the adapter draws a minute amount of power (like 1.5ma). Plus these adapters typically go into sleep mode automatically after 30 minutes whenever they are not connected to/talking to the OBD app. This link is to the Konnwei KW903 that I bought...but Konnwei now has a later model out called the KW906 whose only difference appears to be a minor change in the case color/texture. When looking on Lazada/Shopee search for Konnwei KW906....and you will still find plenty of the KW901/902/903 which are identical except for case color. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.HjmTg And below link is for the MiniElm327. It does not have an on/off switch. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.HjOOn And DO NOT buy this OBD2 adapter. Although it has an on/off switch it has a non-standard MAC code which doesn't allow it to work with a lot of OBD apps like the Car Scanner app. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.HjmaU In closing, these OBD2 adapter are just really just "readers" of digital OBD2 data developed/contained/saved in your car's computers/modules/BMS. They are only readers except for one measurement and that is measurement of the 12V battery (a.k.a., OBD2 voltage) and the readers use their own built-in low accuracy voltmeter circuit which can reads plus or minus 0.5V which is not very accurate when you want to know the battery's voltage such as when it being charged. So, what you do one time is determine how much it's reading low or high. Use a digital multimeter with descent accuracy and measure the voltage directly across the 12V battery terminals...say it reads 12.9V....then see what the OBD readout is saying...if it says say 13.3V (which is high) then you know you need to substract 0.4V from your OBD readout for the real voltage.
